Heard that O'Connor & O'Brien of Corrib Rangers are lined up. I am just wondering if they do sign they might not be able to play in the Galway League next season as far as I am aware you cannot play summer football in Mayo and winter in another Connacht League (limited transfer between leagues per player), maybe Reno can advise.Quote:

Sunday 30th March 2008
Elverys Sports Super League—Round 1
Ballina Town 2 v 1 Ballinrobe Town
Ballyheane 2 v 2 Bangor Hibs.
Iorras Aontaithe P v P Manulla
Snugboro Utd. 3 v 2 Westport Utd.
What a great result for the Boro, any reports. Boro lads on the town tonight and righly so. Steady start for Town, 2 dropped points for Heane? Are the Utd Dream Team in trouble is that three defeats in a row. Not a happy camp I hear? Still think they will win the SL or could the Boro & Erris be the dark horses? Time will tell. I cant see Celtic doing much this year, 4 of the first five games already postponed.Quote:

westport dominated first half hour of 2nd half and got two goals but snugboro won it with goal from joel caprani. although westprt hit woodwork a few times i wouldnt deny snugboro the win. worked very hard with only ten men for the 2nd half.
Young Curry getting sent off again, the ape, Johan will have to curb his temper :pQuote:

Ballina's goals came from a silly penalty after 5 minutes and a mis-hit freekick from out wide wihich somehow managed to sneak over our keeper 2win the game for Ballina in the 80th minute. James McTigue equalised in the 60th minute and we dominated much of the game after that. I am sure Ballina will play alot better than this for the remainder of the season but from a 'Robe' man's point of view, yesterday was a great chance to garnish a valuable 3 points.
It looks like Snugboro will be deducted the match points from Sunday for fielding an inelligible player:(
Stevie Gavin of all people, it seems he wasn't regraded from eircom league status before the 31st January deadlineQuote:
2. (d) Any player who plays more than 5 games at National League or Intermediate level in the current
season may be re-graded by his League and notice of this re-grading must be forwarded to the Connacht FA
Secretary by registered post by the League concerned. All applications for re-grading must be made prior to the 31st
January in
accordance with FAI rules.
And to make matter worse for the Boro, Galway Utd are after Johan after he masterminded his 10 man team to beat the SL favourites. What next.Quote:

You "heard" Stevie Gavin was kicked round the pitch on Sunday. I presume you weren't at the match?Quote:

Your comment regarding respect does not make sense. does respect mean clubs avoid making challenges on Stevie whilst playing against him?? I'm not sure how Celtic & Ballyheane will show "respect" when all other clubs in the M.L will not.
Its foolish & niave to assume players should respect S.G any more just because he has league of Ireland experience.
All competitors in the M.L respect each other equally regardless of their playing standard or experience.
This is junior football and we all have to go to work on a Monday morning.
The mayo league does not reserve special treatment for ex LOI players.
Snugboro United have made a good signing in S.G and have set the standard in recent years as to how community spirit and hard work can pay dividends. They are a credit to their village and to the Mayo League.
I suggest you go watch S.G play for Snugboro F.C.
stevie gave as good as he got in the game he wasn't singled out in my eyes!! stevie did well, he got stuck in when he needed to. as 4 celtic showin him respect????? i don't think so, it's a game of football and whoever your opponent is, he's your enemy 4 90 mins i myself wouldn't show any player respect!! afterwards i'd shake their hand and then show them respect!!Quote:

I doubt anyone will go out to hurt SG this year, he may be manmarked in a few games, but there aren't many hackers around the super league. You get a few thumps down in the lower divisions, especially if you have a bit of pace but again, I don't see much wrong with that side of the game, we're all men and able to handle ourselves, SG will take care of himself.

Well I have to agree with every word you said, S.G. will only get respect from every player when its deserved.As for The Galway support club, he will have too drink some prideQuote:

Pls Read top post as regards GUFC supporters. S.G only played one season with us under Steven Lally and did not not make too many apperances so he is was not that well known in terryland!!! Ill drink your stout but thats it my friend:cool:Quote:

Stevie Gavin was the best player on the pitch against Westport, he had a great game against us, it is good for the league to have a player of his quality. He is tough, but neither dirty nor a cheat, anyone who has seen him play will know this.Quote:

If you want to debate on the treatment of S.G in the M.L go watch Snugboro play.Quote:

S.G is not the first and will most certainly not be the last player with a little L.O.I experience to ply his trade in the M.L.
It is you who is getting excited. Snugboro had played one game in which they beat the reigning champions and the man in question scored a goal!!
S.G is a quality signing and will be of immence benefit to Snugboro F.C in terms of the experience he will bring to the club. Once he finds his feet in new surroundings he should prove to be an invaluable signing. He is a big boy and he will look after himself on the field of play.
Jealousy is not a factor for the "Mayo League" or for any players and to claim otherwise is ridiculous. This site is without a doubt for "the nitty gritty as well as the rosey fields of mayo Football".
If you want to comment on the nitty gritty, I suggest you visit some of the rosey fields
